1) The victorian era was a time period between Jun 20, 1837 - Jan 22, 1901
2) It was called the victorian era after Queen Victoria of England because she was ruling at the time
3) The first chainsaw was actually made seven years before the victorian era, but I am mentioning it. Why? Because the chainsaw also known as the osteotome. Aka bonecutter. It was justed during surgery, namely during child birth.
4) There was actually a trans male surgeon living in the victorian era. His name was James Barry. At the time women were not allowed to be doctors, but he disguised himself as a man. Some people would argue saying he only dressed as a man for this reason, but he lived/dressed as a man both in his public and private life. (There is more evidence he was trans, but I don't wanna list them all)
He was a great British surgeon in the military.
